My family and I have moved to Cookeville, TN. I've joined a CrossFit Box here and have been getting some good workouts in. I find I'm much better at pushing myself when I'm working out in a group and have trainers watching me, encouraging me and helping me maintain good form. I'm really drinking the CrossFit kool-aid these days.

I'm debating joining a crossfit for networking purposes. They just opened one on Wall Street and if I start teaching teaching these tools how to oly lift, maybe they'll offer me hefty bonus money in return.

Are you a certified olympic lift trainer? That's a nice cert to have these days. Want to get myself certified in that soon.

They would probably require you to pass a CrossFit Level 1 cert before they'd even consider letting you coach.

I also read this Louie Simmons article last night (I believe the article is from around 2000). Here's an excerpt:

Quote:

When a prominent pro basketball coach said that Olympic squats were the best for his players and that a two-times bodyweight squat was all an athlete needs, I realized that a weak coach can only produce weak players. This coach and many like him must have a huge library and a very small weight room. Take Ben Johnson, for example. He squatted 620 at about 200 pounds. That’s three times bodyweight! Football players' careers are being shortened not by the competition but by the fact that they are too frail compared to 10 years ago. I saw Brett Favre come out of the locker room and squat cold with the linemen using the same weight. That's like having five quarterbacks protecting your quarterback, and that's bull.

The plan is hatha yoga on Wednesday nights and yin yoga on Saturday mornings. I've generally done hatha type stuff but my gf drags me to random ****. Some of it's way too intense and stamina based and my shoulders just die 20 minutes in.

We need to get the ******* thread back on track. Been waking up at 5am to workout for about a month now, going pretty well, like it a ton more than going after work. Need to start getting more sleep though.

It depends on where you go. There are ****** CF gyms and there are good ones. The problem is CF corporate don't exert a lot of control over their affiliates. Get your cert and go through the training and you're on your own. As popular as it is you will have some losers looking to make a buck without good programming or coaching. It's not for everyone but I love it.

Did triples on deadlift today, worked up to 365. I am looking forward to maxing, hopefully next week.

Yesterday at the gym got into a convo about squatting and someone bet me I couldn't squat 350, I haven't did heavy squats or barely even squat on a regular basis since high school 6 years ago. But the money was too good not to try so I warmed up with 135 just to get the form and motion back and did it pretty easily. 50 dollars richer and can barely walk, so worth it.

I should try going to the gym in the morning like dg does, I always get sucked into playing basketball for the night when I go in the evening.
